kcalMango-lime granita is a refreshing, icy treat that combines the tropical sweetness of mango with the tangy kick of lime, offering a cool and zesty escape on a hot day.
Ingredients
3 cups chopped ripe mango (about 3 mangoes)
1 cup water
Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions
- Blend the ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped mango, water, lime juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
- Freeze the mixture: Pour the mango mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. Place it in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the edges start to freeze.
- Scrape to form ice crystals: After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and break up the ice crystals that are forming. Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, until the entire mixture has turned into a fluffy, granular texture.
- Serve: Scoop the Mango-Lime Granita into bowls or glasses and enjoy immediately. For an extra burst of flavor, garnish with a lime wedge or fresh mint.
